Every attorney, law professor, and legal professional group should be standing as one to denounce this unconstitutional prosecution/persecution. They should be filing amicus briefs decrying Smith's tactics. Instead, most are cheering it on.

exculpatory evidence is not permitted in a kangaroo court.

never forget the reason for the left’s treason, a peaceful protest of an illegitimate election.

Our justice system is a huge embarrassment.

I think the courts need to be re-established on a foundation of established morality. Part of that is a broader sense of perjury — “Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?” — almost everyone in court plays words games, hides information, formulates artful lies, and misleads. I think judges, defense attorneys, prosecutors, and witnesses should all be at serious risk for felony convictions if they start “dancing” when they talk in court.

And I believe that defense attorneys should be required to serve justice ahead of their client. If the accused person is manifestly guilty, the defense attorney should just say so. Trying to prevent a guilty person from facing true justice? I think you ought to be disbarred for that. Of course, our current system definitely doesn’t work that way. Which is a shame.

Morality and Justice. Our current system actively fights against both concepts.

NONE of the J6 defendants have been allowed to present exculpatory evidence!

Little things like the thousands of hours of video...

The more extreme Smith gets the easier the appeal will be. With this Judge Trump is doomed anyway so let Smith keep adding to grounds for appeal

Jackboot Smith would like to just condemn President Trump to death and be done with it.

Judge Chutkan, an anti-Trump jurist who has consistently sided with the state’s prosecution efforts, is expected to fulfill all of Smith’s demands, no matter how contrary to due process or deleterious to the cause of justice."

The evidence before the court is incontrovertible.
There's no need for the jury to retire.
In all my years of judging, I have never heard before
Of someone more deserving of the full penalty of law.

Judge, Don’t let Trump provide irrefutable evidence of election fraud. 😆

Motion in limine
In U.S. law, a motion in limine is a motion, discussed outside the presence of the jury, to request that certain testimony be excluded. A motion in limine can also be used to get a ruling to allow for the inclusion of evidence. The motion is decided by a judge in both civil and criminal proceedings. Wikipedia

***********************************************************

I’ve had “motions in limine” imposed on me at trial (all civil) and I have (through my attorney) sought and obtained them on the other guy too. Such motions are like a jury verdict in a civil trial....good for one side and bad for the other. With an honest judge, such motions can be applied fairly. In Trump’s case, the judge will likely hamstring him.

They want him tried and jailed knowing the supreme court would strike down anything from this sham. But it gets Trump off the ballot and in prison long enough to steal it for Biden again and with the way Biden is allowing violence all over I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if some democrat party goon takes out Thomas and Scalia with bogus charges (or seeing how the Mashalls service just let an assassin get to Kavenaugh)and he gets two more idiots who don’t know what a woman is.

He cannot prevent evidence from being shown. If he can, then it may be time to get it started.

The gag order is for the duration of the trial, or until the judge cancels it, or what?

Biden said out loud that he was going to prevent Trump from running. Pretty blatant admission of targeted persecution. This will result in another appeal. Trump is doing a good job putting Chutkin and Smith on the spot.

Last time I checked, “evidence” is the key to determining guilt.
Otherwise the accused is “Not Guilty”

Freedom for William Penn

“Those people who are not governed by GOD will be ruled by tyrants.”
William Penn

Edward Bushell and three fellow JURORS learned this lesson well. They refused to bow to the court. They believed in the absolute power of the JURY, though their eight companions cowered to the court. The four JURORS spent nine weeks of torture in prison, often without food or water, soaked with urine, smeared with feces, barely able to stand, and even threatened with fines, yet they would not give in to the judge. Edward Bushell said, “My liberty is not for sale,” though he had great wealth and commanded an international shipping enterprise. These “bumble heads”, so the court thought, proved the power of the people was stronger than any power of government. They emerged total victors.
The First Amendment

The year was 1670, and the case Bushell sat on was that of William Penn, who was on trial for violation of the “Conventicle Act.” This was an elaborate Act which made the Church of England the only legal church. The Act was struck down by their not guilty vote. Freedom of Religion was established and became part of the English Bill of Rights and later it became the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. In addition, the Right to peaceful assembly was founded.Freedom of Speech, and also habeas corpus. The first such writ of habeas corpus ever issued by the Court of Common Pleas was used to free Edward Bushell. Later this trial gave birth to the concept of Freedom of the press.

Had Bushell and his colleagues yielded to the guilty verdict sought by the judge and prosecutor. William Penn most likely would have been executed, as he clearly broke the law.
He Broke the Law!

Then there would have been no Liberty Bell, no Independence Hall, no city of Philadelphia, and no state called Pennsylvania, for young Wiliam Penn, founder of Pennsylvania, and leader of the Quakers, was on trial for his life. His alleged crime was preaching and teaching a different view of the Bible than that of the Church of England. This appears innocent today, but then, one could be executed for such actions. He believed in freedom of religion, freedom of speech and the right to peaceful assembly. He had broken the government’s law, but he had injured no one. Those four heroic JURORS knew that only when actual injury to someone’s person or property takes place is there a real crime. No law is broken when no injury can be shown. Thus there can be no loss or termination of rights unless actual damage is proven. Many imposter laws were repealed as a result of this case.
It is Almost Unfair!

This trial made such an impact that every colony but one established the jury as the first liberty to maintain all other liberties. It was felt that the liberties of people could never be wholly lost as long as the jury remained strong and independent, and that unjust laws and statutes could not stand when confronted by conscientious JURORS. JURORS today face an avalanche of imposter laws. JURORS not only still have the power and the RIGHT, but also the DUTY, to nullify bad laws by voting “not guilty”. At first glance it appears that it is almost unfair, the power JURORS have over government, but necessary when considering the historical track record of oppression that governments have wielded over private citizens.

In 1776 we came out of BONDAGE with FAITH, UNDERSTANDING and COURAGE. Even against great odds, and with much bloodshed, we battled our way to achieve LIBERTY. LIBERTY is that delicate area between the force of government and FREEWILL of man. LIBERTY brings FREEDOM of choice to work, to trade, to go and live wherever one wishes; it leads to ABUNDANCE. ABUNDANCE, if made an end in itself, will result in COMPLACENCY which leads to APATHY. APATHY is the “let George do it” philosophy. This always brings DEPENDENCY. For a period of time, dependents are often not aware they are dependent. They delude themselves by thinking they are still free - “We never had it so good.” - “We can still vote, can ‘t we?” Eventually abudance diminishes and DEPENDENCY becomes known by its true nature: BONDANGE!!!

Donald Trump, unironically, stands accused of “election interference”

Jack Smith was appointed by an office that doesn’t exist that congress never made by one of Biden’s boy.
